Much ado about almost nothin'

There was a uniform crackdown at Bogalusa Middle the other day. Big deal in the city schools, wearing the uniform and wearing it properly. Bunch of kids were pulled out of class to be written up for such minutiae as wearing socks that didn't show over their shoes.

I'm all for discipline, but with poor academic performance, it doesn't make sense to further lower kids' instructional time over what they're wearing.

How 'bout a sign around their neck labeled "violator" instead, and send a note home?
